When I gave myself a Sharpness VII enchanted book and applied it with a diamond sword, it gave a Sharpness V diamond sword and not sharpness 7.
Steps to Reproduce:
Give yourself an enchanted book beyond maximum survival enchant level (ex: Mending 2, Unbreaking 4, Bane of Arthropods 8, Lure 9, Loyalty 5) Use this sample: /give @s enchanted_book[stored_enchantments:{sharpness:7}]
Grab an item compatible with that enchant (ex: Sharpness-Any sword, Lure-Fishing Rod, Power-Bow)
Combine the item in the first slot and the enchanted book in the second slot
Expected result:
The item will be given the custom enchantment
Observed result:
The item sets its enchantment to the maximum survival enchant limit
(ex: Sharpness 7 to Sharpness 5, Loyalty 5 to Loyalty 3, Knockback 6 to Knockback 2)
